Desiderata Poem by Morgan Michaels

Did you know thatEvery idea you haveIs simply that? An ideaEncrusted with memories, Associations, contexts; That somewhere in the worldThere is someone holdingAnd defending with his lifeExactly the opposite idea? That human truth is local? That God is oblivious of allAnd dispersed in the machine? Hunger, thirst, pain, Wakefulness, sleep, birth, Pleasure and death- These are the only realitiesDefensible as pertinent to all.Anyone who tries to tell you elsewise isa lovely, well-intentioned fool.
